I was wondering if you have to solid objects and then use UNION command to make them as ONE object BUT then I don´t after a while you realise that this was a mistake is there a command that you can use to split them as they were before (beside from command undo or slice).

Thanks for answering in advance and best regards to you all

ReMark is quite right about the best practice regarding saving geometry and history of solids.

This probably won't be much help, but there is one tool which is available for separating noncontinuous types of solids. On the solid editing toolbar you will find the SEPARATE command, which can also be accessed through the SOLIDEDIT command, by selecting the appropriate options from the commandline prompts. I prefer using it from the toolbar, as it is much easier.

As you mentioned perhaps using the slice command, this actually might be applicable in your case. Worth a shot.

I do recall in Autodesk Architecture there used to be a way to right click a solid and undo any join commands and I think there was an option to regenerate the parent objects but I may be thinking of architecture-specific assemblies like slabs ... Can't remember it's been like 11 yrs.

I think I was using slabs joined together and creating other slabs to subtract from those like a 3D object in CAD (to create a specific roof profile).

Because it saves your edits you can go back and undo the changes later on.
